How often do you get seen by the doctor when you have twins? (UK Only please)

Question

I paid for an early scan at 8 weeks and 5 days.
I had my booking in appt yesterday so I'm 9 weeks today.
I'm waiting on a letter for an appt with the scan but online it says that they try and scan you at 11 weeks but it's not clear how many times you are seen after that...
Help?!

Answer

Hiya I’m pregnant with Dcda/twins at the moment and in the uk and tbh I didn’t have any extra appointments till after 20 weeks.
I had a 12 weeks scan then 16 weeks appointment with consultant. At the consultant appointment they booked me growth scan for every 4 weeks from 24 weeks. So I’ve had a scan 24 and 28 weeks scan so far.
Also had a normal 20 week scan. I had the regular midwife appointments regular single babies have also.
I think it’s much closer to birth you have a lot more appointments. If you are having twins modi or momo(same sac and placenta) then you will have scans every 2 weeks from 20 weeks

Answer

It depends on the type of twins, I'm nearly 20 weeks with fraternal twins, 2 sacs and 2 placentas. After my scan on Thursday I have an appointment every 4 weeks. You will also have all your care at a hospital and you're assigned a consultant automatically. All twin pregnancies are counted as high risk but the type of twins I have are the lowest risk out of the different types. If you have a shared placenta or sac you'll probably have more appointments 😊

Answer

Hi I’m currently 26 weeks with MCDA twins (separate sacs, one placenta). I had an early scan at around 8 weeks due to several hospital visits with hyperemesis. I then had my 12 week screening scan. Had my normal midwife appointments. But had scans and clinic appointments every two weeks starting at 16 weeks because it’s considered high risk of developing twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Everything is coming along nicely so far. 
Hope everything goes well for you.

I had a scan at 12 weeks then 20 weeks and every month after that i had a scan and dr appointment

Answer

Hi, we just found out we are having twins on Thursday at our first hospital scan (12 week scan). We have an appointment with the twin clinic at the hospital on Monday.
Apparently the type of twins we are having our mcma twins which are the most high risk. This means after our 16 weeks scan we will be seen in the twin clinic every two weeks for a scan to check how the babies are doing.
